Fantastic Five: World's Best Forwards

Throughout the year, I will be compiling lists detailing the best things in the world of soccer.

Today we focus on strikers who are assasins with the ball at their feet:


5. Karim Benzema


The Frenchman arrived at Real Madrid this summer as part of the new, "Galacticos." Quietly, his efficiency in front of goal has made him one of the best strikers in Europe.

4. David Villa





While short in stature, this Spaniard helped lead his country to Euro 2008 glory. Currently playing for Valencia CF, he might make a big-money move to a higher-profile club.

3. Zlatan Ibrahimovic



The big Swede has joined forces with Lionel Messi at the Camp Nou in Barcelona. Combining a potent mixture of freakish athleticism and guile, he has somtimes gone missing during the big games.

2. Fernando Torres





The Golden Boy of Liverpool, Torres can poach goals with the best in the world. Alongside Villa, these two will make up the Spanish frontline for years to come.

1. Lionel Messi


Small in size but overflowing with talent, this Argentine can also be deservedly called the best player in the world. His header led Barcelona over Manchester United in the 2009 Champions League Final in Rome.
